"Here at the Institute, we are in the forefront worldwide in neuro-psychology and new therapeutic technologies."

• Hello, my name is Dr. Mercurio Arboria, and I am the founder of the Arboria Institute. It has long been my dream to find the perfect way for people to achieve, simply, happiness, contentment, inner peace. These seem to be things that strangely elude us all, but it doesn't have to be that way. We at Arboria have found a path to achieve them. Here at the Institute, we are in the forefront worldwide in neuro-psychology and new therapeutic technologies. Dr. Barry Nyle, our head of research, myself, and our dedicated team of herbalists, naturopaths, and healers, have found a way to make that dream a reality. Through our unique blend of benign pharmacology, sensory therapy, and energy sculpting, we can guide you gently along the path to a new, better, happier you, all in the comfortable surroundings of our state-of-the-art facility and our award-winning gardens. We invite you to join us and find out for yourself.

• [while holding baby Elena and before submerging her into the black goo] Your mother's reabsorption into the cycle of life won't be for nothing, my darling, Elena. You will be the dawning of a new era for the human race… and the human soul. Let the new age of enlightenment begin!

• Bring home the mother lode, Barry.

• I went to another world, Rosemary. I see what others cannot see. I looked into the eye of God, and it looked right back through me. It looked through everything. Rosemary, it was so, so, so beautiful… like a black rainbow. And it chose me. It chose to reveal itself to me.

• You look tired today. It's easy to become disillusioned when you don't know who you are, or what you are. I know who I am. That's what gives me my confidence, and my power. And I know who you are too, Elena. I can guide you towards that achievement, to find your inner strength, and your inner power. We all have other forms, and your inner self needs another to complete it. I can help you do that. You just have to let… me… in.
